If only Switzer were a normal WR's height - this wouldn't be helmet to helmet.

Exactly. I don't understand the notion that we need to hire someone as quickly as possible to save a recruiting class. The foundation of talent on this team is 10x better than what Bowden had when he was hired. The floor going forward should be 4-8, and that gives the new coach time to learn the University and put together an excellent recruiting pitch. Besides, football is a system-dominated sport. The right coach will win with lesser talent if his system is superior. Bowden had more talent than half the teams we played and lost to this season; his offense (ran by Milwee) blew.

FIFY.

$5.95 for the single game.

I'd become a Crew fan if Porter were to be hired as HC.

Here's to hoping this "search firm" looks at the coaching trees of the offensive minds in the game - Riley, Holgersen, Swinney, Babers, Gundy, etc. Who are they grooming and how do we get them here?

Go watch the NBA or Duke or the playground if you want style points, GT. I'll take fundamental basketball all day long. He has got to go.

It's encouraging to me that we can struggle to score for an entire half, and still win by double digits.

Ugly match between JMU and MSU.

French was saying on the football broadcast that the team is returning around 7:30pm tonight to the Stiles Fieldhouse.

Cool tidbit for tonight: with French and company in South Carolina, the game will be called on the radio by Jim Rosenhaus. If anybody sees him around the JAR, let's get his opinion on the Gomes trade and other Indians trade rumors.

Didn't realize he and Zakuani are close. Yeah, he has definitely toned it down a bit. Still hard for him to shed his previous persona when you grew up watching him play football. Haha.

Holy ****. CJOcho Cinco tweeting about Akron is awesome, even though he's a prick (putting it nicely and somewhat board friendly).

I'm quite excited for this game. I'm hoping for a double digit victory as a mini-statement to the rest of the MAC.

Thank you Caleb Porter for Embick.

New plan. We fire Bowden, and reallocate his salary (and maybe more) to Embick to keep him for 10+ years. Dynasty.

E I E I E I O! TO THE COLLEGE CUP WE GO! WE ARE AKRON! WE ARE AKRON! WE ARE SOCCER KINGS!

That 2nd goal almost cost me $150. At a fundraiser, and they scored during an auction. I threw my hands up. Would have been well worth it.

When are we getting an East West Bowl, Basketball Edition?

No Langsdorf or Baird? This is gonna be a cake walk. 3-1 Zips.

I haven't scouted Stanford, nor do I know much about them this year. However, based on two observations (5 ties and a lot of talk about their back line), my biggest question is about their attack. Last year, they had one or two really good forwards. What's their attack like this year?

According to Google, only the Queen hornets survive during the winter. Winter is the worker's & male's demise. 72-0 is my prediction based on this. The Yellow Jackets of Cedarville were acclimated to this weather being from Ohio, but the Hornets of the State of Alabama do not have such a bright future, I fear. Women's basketball would apparently be different though!

I even went back through to see if part of this was due to a couple 1-11/3-9 or so records in his first couple of years. Nope. 1-11 year 1. 5-7 the next two years including wins against Pitt, Toledo, a promising showing against Michigan, etc. 8-5 in year 4. Then 5-7, 7-7, and 4-7 (currently; most likely 4-8). Call it what you want - plateauing at best, regression at worst - but this program certainly has a cloudy future as it currently stands. Side note: when looking at the scores from Bowden's first couple of years, this offense was a lot more fun to watch back then.

I was looking at the Alabama State game. Maybe I should be done posting for a while. I don't want to be the reason only 100 people show up to the Detroit game at 5pm, and 3000 people show up at 7. Beat Stanford.

Oh shoot. For some reason I thought this game was on Saturday. Basketball is at 7 on Saturday I believe, but that's irrelevant due to my date screw up.
